The person walking at the front was Hu Yanguang, followed by two security guards from Haitang Pavilion. The man sandwiched between the two security guards looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Zhou Yao.
The moment she saw the man appear, Zhou Yao's entire face instantly turned pale, and there was a look of shock in his eyes.
Why did he appear here?
"Miss Gu, someone brought it to you."
Gu Nan nodded and turned to look at Zhou Yao.
"Do you know him?"
"No...I don't know him!" Zhou Yao hurriedly shook his head in denial without even thinking about it.
Her reaction was more like a guilty conscience.
Editor Li said: "Mrs. Gu, how could you not know me? It was you who paid me to publish a post exposing Gu Nanyi's scandal. You gave me one million as a reward. I have a transfer record here.
."
"You're talking nonsense. I don't know you, and I can't possibly transfer money to you. Don't believe him. This person is obviously brought here by Gu Nan to slander me."
Everyone was silent, even the ladies who had always had good relations with Zhou Yao stopped speaking.
In order to confirm what he said, Editor Li took out his mobile phone and showed it to everyone.
Above is the transfer record, the name of the transferor is clearly written: Zhou Yao
"Mrs. Gu, here is the name you left when you transferred the money."
Zhou Yao was panicking, but she knew very well that she could never admit that she had planned this incident.
"Huh, my name is all over the streets. You guys have really gone to great lengths to discredit me."
Gu Xiyan also hurriedly said: "Nan Yi, there is no way my mother can do such a thing. She doesn't even know what trolls are, so how can she know these editors in the entertainment industry?"
Gu Nan raised an eyebrow: "If it's not her, could it be you?"
Gu Xiyan was stunned and looked at her with a disappointed look on her face: "Nanyi, you were not like this before. Who did you meet outside during this time? Did someone instigate you to do this? I don't believe it.
You would do something like this deliberately to frame us."
What I said was really... full of tea.
While saying that Gu Nanyi had changed, they also said that someone instigated Gu Nanyi to frame them like this.
No matter how you explain it, there is only one meaning in the end: everything is a lie fabricated by Gu Nanyi, with the purpose of ruining the reputation of their mother and daughter.
Looking at Gu Xiyan's coquettish face, Gu Nan suddenly felt the urge to laugh.
"Gu Xiyan, you really don't shed tears until you see the coffin."
With a sneer, Gu Nan raised her phone and played a video.
The mobile phone video is of a cafe. In the video, a middle-aged woman is sitting, looking at the person opposite her with a cold and arrogant expression.
"Li Yaohui, I spent one million for you to post information about Gu Nanyi online, but just one night later, all the news about her was removed from the shelves. Didn't I just waste the money?"
"Mrs. Gu, the original confidentiality agreement we signed did state that the heat should be maintained for three days, but no one expected that an emergency would arise. You said that Gu Nanyi is just a country bumpkin with no background. I can just post it online
You are trying to smear her, but obviously you didn't tell me the truth. If you knew her background was so powerful, I wouldn't be able to do it even if you gave me ten million, let alone one million."
Zhou Yao frowned and said angrily: "How can I not know who Gu Nanyi is? She is just a country girl with no background. If we hadn't brought her back to Pingcheng, she would still be living a hard life in the mountains and valleys.
.It’s useless to talk nonsense, tell me, how can I recover my losses?”
"Well, I took you one million back then, of which I used half a million to deal with the navy. I will definitely not be able to get this money back. Yesterday, I took back the five hundred thousand you received intact.
Here you go, what do you think?"
Zhou Yao's expression softened. Although he couldn't get all of it back, it would be nice to get half of it back.
"Well, you are reasonable."
"Mrs. Gu, I'm very curious, why did you spend a lot of money to blackmail Gu Nanyi? Isn't she your adopted daughter?"
Zhou Yao picked up the leather bag beside him and stood up to leave.
"These are not things you should know. If I need you in the future, I will still look for you."
The video screen is frozen here.
Zhou Yao and Gu Xiyan were both stunned on the spot, unable to say a word.
With the video as evidence, there is no room for change in the matter of Zhou Yao spending money to smear Gu Nanyi.
Jiang Mochen on the side looked at Gu Xiyan silently.
"Did you tell Auntie?"
The only way Zhou Yao could know about this was through Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan subconsciously wanted to shake her head and deny it, but when she saw Jiang Mochen's increasingly cold eyes, her heart suddenly tightened.
He instantly understood that no matter how much she explained now, he would not believe her.
Having an idea, Gu Xiyan cried and questioned Zhou Yao.
"Mom, how could you do this? I told you this at that time because I wanted you to persuade Dad to take Nan Yi home. By doing this, wouldn't you be pushing Nan Yi into a pit of fire?"
Zhou Yao was in a state of panic and looked at Gu Xiyan numbly.
Gu Xiyan walked up to Gu Nanyi with an apologetic face and held Gu Nanyi's wrist tightly.
"Nan Yi, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that my mother really did this. I apologize to you on her behalf. I know it will be difficult for you to forgive her for a while. I believe she is just confused. After all, we are a family.
right?"
Gu Nanyi said unceremoniously: "We are not related by blood."
Gu Xiyan's face froze and tears fell down.
"But I sincerely regard you as my sister."
Gu Nan coldly shook off Gu Xiyan's hand: "I can't stand you as a sister, you are the kind of person who will kill me."
This taunt caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding people.
"Suddenly I understood why Gu Nanyi ran away from home. It was important to save his life."
"Haha, I finally understand. The Gu family is really a family of drama stars."
"Has Gu Tingjun been kicked in the head by a donkey? His biological daughter refuses to recognize her. Instead, she takes other people's children home and carefully and thoughtfully cultivates them into talents. Is this called loving the house and the bird? Zhou Yao is a good trick."
Wang Huizhen glared at Zhou Yao with a mocking look on her face: "How could she have snatched her cousin's man away if she didn't have good tricks? An orphan girl without a father and mother was kindly adopted and raised by the two elders of the Ye family. Not only was she ungrateful, but she also snatched her away.
A man who has stolen his cousin, and a woman who knows her own business, how can she have the face to go out for a walk every day under the reputation of Mrs. Gu?"
"It is difficult to guard against domestic thieves. We can only blame the Ye family for being too unprepared and luring the wolf into the house."
At this moment, almost all the guests around him were on Gu Nanyi's side.
In particular, the female guests can better understand Gu Nanyi's difficulties. Her mother died young, her father ignored her, and her stepmother was vicious and always wanted to frame her.
A little girl living in such an environment is lucky that her heart has not become distorted.
"Gu Nanyi, we support you to call the police. Behavior like Zhou Yao's has touched the bottom line of the law." Wang Huizhen kindly reminded.
She and Ye Hailan were college classmates, and they had a good relationship before.
But since Ye Hailan and Gu Tingjun got married, for some unknown reason, they lost contact with their former friends. Until Ye Hailan's sudden death, she was not able to see her for the last time, which was also very regretful.
Unexpectedly, she could meet Ye Hailan's orphan today, and Wang Huizhen was very touched.
Gu Nan thanked Wang Huizhen and nodded.
"The police have been called!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yao was so frightened that his legs and feet became weak, and his whole body collapsed on the ground.
"Mom!" Gu Xiyan hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
Zhou Yao burst into tears: "Gu Nanyi, you are so cruel. We are a family after all. I have never treated you badly since you returned to the Gu family. I didn't expect that you would call the police for this matter? You
Do you have any conscience left?"
Gu Xiyan patted Zhou Yao's back and looked at Gu Nanyi pleadingly.
"Nan Yi, my mother has a bad heart. Please let her go this time. I promise she will never make such a mistake again from now on."
Gu Nan stood there, his figure like a lonely cypress.
His eyes glanced at Gu Xiyan and Zhou Yao with disdain.
"Have you ever felt guilty when I was being wildly reviled by the entire Internet? What kind of family? My family name is Ye, not Gu. It was not the case before, and it will never be the case from now on!"
After saying this, she looked at Gu Tingjun silently.
[The author has something to say]
I saw a lot of little cuties in the comments saying that school is about to start, and Maojiu would like to share some of my thoughts with you.
Study hard, take good care of yourself, stay up less late and eat more. This period of schooling is actually the best memory in your life. You will miss it often when you graduate. Maojiu is someone who came from this period. What I miss most now is
Everything in high school and college. I miss my like-minded friends and my roommates who took care of me.
I feel like crying if I talk too much...
By the way, I’ve added an update today. Although it’s only two chapters, the word count is almost two thousand more. Good night.
